Educating new graduate nurses in their first year of practice: The perspective and experiences of the new graduate nurses and the director of nursing
New graduate nurses are the future of nursing and the education they receive as they transition into the workforce as a newly registered nurse is critical for building a suitably qualified nursing workforce that will adequately serve the future population. Variation exists in education programmes for new graduate nurses in their first year of practice. The desired state is that all new graduate nurses have access to high-quality educational opportunities to develop the capabilities to perform to the best of their abilities and that they are adequately supported in their transition to practice.

Midwifery students ’ experiences of learning through the use of written reflections – An interview study
In an effort to strengthen midwifery students' learning process, written reflections during the students' clinical practice at birth units have been applied. The aim of this study was to examine how students of midwifery experienced the writing of daily reflections on their practice at birthing units. An interview study was carried out using an inductive method with descriptive design. During 2013 (n = 12) and 2014 (n = 7), respondents were recruited from two cohorts of midwifery students (n = 19) at a university in southern Sweden. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

Transition support for new graduate and novice nurses in critical care settings: An integrative review of the literature
Transition into critical care areas for new graduate nurses may be more difficult than transitioning into other areas due to the specialised knowledge needed. It is unknown which aspects of transition programs best support new graduate nurses improve competence and confidence to transition into critical care nursing specialties. Identifying these aspects would assist to design and implement best practice transition programs for new graduates in critical care areas.

Could students ’ experiences of clinical placements be enhanced by implementing a Collaborative Learning in Practice (CliP) model?
There has been much scrutiny of United Kingdom (UK) nursing in the face of allegations of a decline in the standards of care delivered by nurses and systematic failings in care in one NHS trust (Willis, 2012; Francis, 2013). More specifically, Willis, 2012 argues for closer partnerships between higher education institutions and practice providers to ensure that student nurses receive the best preparation and support during their placement learning, with an emphasis on flexibility to meet the changing demands of patient care in the 21st century.

A comprehensive literature review of guidelines facilitating transition of newly graduated nurses to professional nurses
Literature shows that successful transition of newly graduate nurses to professional nurses is imperative but does not always take place, resulting in difficulty in performance, cognizance or behaviour of a role as a nurse, affecting the quality of patient care negatively. No integrative literature review could be found to summarize available guidelines facilitating transition of final year nursing students to professional nurses. An extensive search of the literature by means of an integrative literature review was conducted in 2014 and updated in June 2017, following a five-step process. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)
